Travelers adopt personal rituals to feel at home while traveling for business, such as enjoying familiar scents or fitness routines. Kelly Wearstler finds comfort in nightly routines, while Christa Cotton explores local grocery stores for inspiration. Mauricio Umansky prioritizes exercise on the road to maintain his well-being. The tourism industry adapts to meet evolving traveler needs, exemplified by Tim Harrington's innovative reservation process, enabling customized setups for guests, ensuring their comfort and functionality.
"There are always surprises [on the road], so I carve out time for myself," says Kelly Wearstler, the design eye behind Proper Hotels. She enjoys small personal rituals like a mint tea before bed or face oils, creating a sense of home during travels.
Christa Cotton, founder of El Guapo Bitters, unpacks fully at every destination and lights a votive candle, even for short stays, saying, "Even unfamiliar shelves can spark my next million dollar idea."
Mauricio Umansky, founder of The Agency, emphasizes maintaining a fitness routine on the road by packing a jump rope and using resistance bands. He believes this helps him feel human and steady during business trips.
Tim Harrington, who shapes boutique hotels, initiates reservations with a "pre-concierge" process. This customization allows for creative setups, such as transforming spaces to meet unique traveler needs.
